
DANGER
Overhead Guard
Check the overhead guard and make sure that it is firmly
attached to the truck and that all fasteners are secured.
The overhead guard is adjustable to accommodate
various drivers’ and operating restrictions (low ceilings,
door openings, etc).
Parking Brake
The parking brake system is controlled by a lever
connected to the left side of the stop pedal.
To check the park brake:
• Step on the back of the lever down to set it. Step on
the top of the lever to release it. You cannot drive your
Bendi forklift while the brake is engaged. The truck will
not respond to the drive pedal unless the lever is
released.
• If the park brake does not stop (hold) the forklift, the
truck must be removed from operation until the
problem has been identified and corrected.
Rust or Corrosion
Check the truck frame, side and floor panels for rust and
corrosion. Clean rusty or corroded areas and repaint, if
applicable. Apply a thin coat of oil to any bare metal
surface.
Safety Decals, Data Plates, etc.
Check for damage and missing decals or data plate.
Check that the decals are legible. Clean and/or replace
as needed.
Tires and Wheels
Check tires for cuts or chunking, oil slicks, embedded
foreign material or excessive wear. Check wheels for
missing lug nuts. Repair and/or have service replace
immediately. Do not use the truck.
Welds, Cracked or Broken
Check for damage and reliability of welds. Clean and
repair immediately. Do not use the truck.
Wires or Connectors
Look for damaged, cracked or broken insulation, bare
wires showing loose or broken connectors. If electrical
problems are found, have service make repairs
immediately. Do not use the truck.
Fire Extinguisher Option
If your truck includes a fire extinguisher it should be
inspected at least monthly, or more frequently if
circumstances dictate.
The extinguisher should be checked to see that:
• it is not damaged.
• the discharge outlet is not blocked.
• it is fully charged and the seal is not broken.
• the instruction pamphlet is clearly visible.
IMPORTANT
Dry-powder extinguishers are shipped fully charged.
Do not experiment with your extinguisher since even
a small amount of discharge could cause it to slowly
lose the rest of its pressure, rendering the
extinguisher useless.
Replacing the Battery
The following are steps that must be taken when the
battery is in need of replacing.
1. Return the truck to your service area.
2. Set the key switch to OFF and place key in a safe
place.
3. Place blocks in front of and behind all wheels.
4. Unlatch the compartment cover (below drivers seat)
and raise the engine compartment top cover.
5. Secure the cover to the overhead guard latch and
insert the locking pin. Shake the cover to be sure
latch is secured.
6. Open the left side door by sliding the locking level to
the right, and the swing the door fully open.
If the mast does not raise or lower properly, or
shows signs of binding, it may release or stop
suddenly. Sudden motion may allow the load or
carriage to drop, this could result in death or
serious injury to the operator or nearby persons,
and/or damage the load.
